Add Ability to Hide Session Groups

We have over 50 clients, and each has their own session group. Then we have additional session groups for certain users in each company to be able to log into their own computers as needed. This is adding up to a large number of individual session groups. I'd like to be able to either hide session groups from view (maybe a flag on the session group you can set and a button at the top to show hidden when needed, and specific to the user logged into SC), or to put them into a "folder" for lack of a better word so they can be minimized, but not removed. Thanks!

@ Mike I was reviewing your request and notice you mentioned having session groups for individuals to control their machines. Ideally, one global 'My Machines' group could help cut down on the number of session groups in your view.


Your 'My Machines' session filter would look like this:

CustomProperty2 = $USERNAME

The USERNAME refers to the login(Display Name) used by your host. It's the same thing that appears on the user badge on the host page.


Hope this helps. Your request is still under review, but we're doing a manage session groups interface update in Q1 that will need to be done, before we can consider any changes to grouping.

Mike, in 6.0 we've added a lot more room to where the sessions are listed. Hope that will help you in the meantime.

I'll definitely check it out, thanks! Do you know if the rest of my suggestion is feasible for a future release?

We would like to hide session groups that we have had to create to grant a user access to only their computer. A single computer is showing up in as many as 3 groups currently and I only need to see that the PC is in a OU group and i'm ok with the All Machines group. Perhaps when a string such as "IsShown = No" enabled it would hide any group from the dashboard and we would still have access to edit the group via manage session groups if we needed to revert the change.

The problem with this suggestion is it doesn't take into consideration security groups. I need them in their own Group so I can tie it to an individual Security Group/User credential. If I added everyone to My Machines group, there would be no way to give individual logins for individual machines.

Hi Mike,

I'm not sure I follow. If you create the group, "My Machines", with the filter below you will be able to secure it with permissions via the security page. 

CustomProperty2 = $USERNAME
